The UN General Assembly has unanimously adopted a nuclear disarmament resolution that includes proposals forwarded by Iran President Hassan Rouhani as head of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).
The resolution, adopted on Thursday, calls on nuclear-power states to make more efforts to scale down and ultimately eliminate all types of nuclear arms.

Last night I was at a fundraiser for Eloise Reyes thrown by the Mexican American Bar Association PAC. It was wonderful watching the candidate speak from her heart to a roomful of successful attorneys about preserving Social Security by raising the cap and preventing any president-- be it a Republican or a Democrat-- from imposing Chained CPI.

Here we go again. On Israel and the US losing their UNESCO voting rights, ‘Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO, Nimrod Barkan, ‘said in an interview that his country supports the U.S. decision [to suspend contributions], “objecting to the politicization of UNESCO, or any international organization, with the accession of a non-existing country like Palestine.” (AP  8-11-13)

Today you can watch much of the world praise the life and mourn the death of former South African President anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela. Scores of U.S. leaders and political pundits with platforms to reach millions of Americans are expressing admiration for Mandela today, but I have barely seen a single acknowledgement of the fact that the U.S. strongly opposed Mandela’s struggle and strongly supported the white supremacist apartheid system in South Africa.

LGBT activists in Ohio were shocked when they heard Steve Israel was recruiting virulent homophobe Jennifer Garrison to run for Congress. Israel is now pressuring pro-equality Democrats in Congress-- including gay members-- to contribute money to Garrison's campaign. She isn't a garden variety anti-gay politician. She built her entire political career on intense homophobia.

With everything going on over the last few days, I finally had the time last night to sit down and take a close listen to the "officially" released Sandy Hook emergency 9-11 tapes..... I do have the question to ask:  What the hell took them so long?  The Boston Marathon, Aurora, and other false flag attack police/emergency 9-11 tapes were released almost immediately after these events.. But for some strange reason, it has taken almost one full year before the Sandy Hook 9-11 tapes were released.... I have to wonder why?

Nelson and Winnie Mandela as he left prison in 1990by KenIt's not as if we haven't had time to prepare for this day. The poor man has been so sick for so long. But there are people we can't afford to lose, people whose moral example -- and I don't throw around phrases like "moral example" casually -- is irreplaceable.A great deal is going to be said and written about him. I like this from Madeleine Albright: "Nelson Mandela taught us all that forgiveness is stronger than hate.

 
 
While the country waits with bated breath for news of Nelson Mandela’s health, some South Africans breathe a sigh of relief when they learn that the ailing statesman’s condition is improving.
Because these South Africans live in fear of the day Mandela dies. It is widespread. Search the words “fear, Mandela and death” and the headings of websites include “Blacks will massacre whites after Mandela’s death”, “South Africans fear Mandela’s death” and “White genocide after Mandela’s death in SA?”.

This week I visited with John Bohlinger, the progressive in Montana's U.S. Senate race. A former Republican state legislator, John switched parties from the GOP to the Democrats and I asked him to explain why. I'm always curious about what make someone switch. Sometimes-- like Charlie Crist or Patrick Murphy in Florida-- it's just opportunism.

A French report ruling out poisoning in Yasser Arafat’s 2004 death has a glaring inconsistency, the co-author of a Swiss probe said Thursday, sticking by his team’s conclusion that the Palestinian leader was likely killed.

There is a saying that he who has the gold makes the rules. Indeed, throughout the history of mankind it has been shown that wealth is power. Why do you suppose that is? The answer to that question appears to be obvious. If you have money, many people will do what you want them to do simply to obtain that money. This is true whether you own a business and try to provide something costumers will pay for, or you work for a business and provide labor, or you sell sexual favors to lonely people.

Seriously. The US and company would never hook up with terrorists.That is the tripe the talking heads and state mouthpieces want you to believe.If you do...???You are being fooled again! Don't allow yourself to be a fool.This is such blatant propaganda, obfuscation and bullshit I can't call it anything else.U.S.
